Super Stoked — Just picked up new ‘22 Burb

[Geotrash]

We love our XL’s so much we have two, and if they weren’t in such great shape, we’d buy a new one. We have 2 kids and use the extra space. All. The. Time. And my wife especially likes the added safety that comes with a full-size SUV. More crush room behind the kids if we ever got rear-ended hard.

you will love the suburban or Yukon XL . As a mom of three kids too it was the best decision we ever made to get the longer model. We bought are first one in 09, then traded it in for a 16 and are now getting a 22 which we are in the process of purchasing because I love it! As the kids get bigger ( and even as when they are young) you will appreciate the extra room in the trunk for all of the crap that they require and still have seating for 8 ( if you do the second bench which is what we did ). we would take trips with my parents ( 7 in total ) and fit everyone and luggage in the car ( never even needed a roof rack) Plenty of room for the kids in the third row. Even my mother sat back there with them on long trips. As far a driving it you will love it. It is really easy to drive. I am not that tall ( only 5' 6 ) and have never had an issue with driving it. I have driven a Subaru Outback and a Toyota Highlander but nothing beats the suburban/yukon as a family car. Don't go with the Tahoe. You will regret not having the extra room in the trunk . Now with all of the back up cameras it is even easier to park and drive. I wish you best of luck with your decision. .

Thank you! It’s nice to hear from a fellow mom I actually did go and test drive a suburban today. It’s massive, but I think I can get over my fears of driving something that large in order to get all that extra room! They let me take it out for an hour, so I drove it home and managed to back it into my garage space without hitting anything and it fit perfectly with room to spare. I’m definitely leaning that direction now! Appreciate everyone judging me in that direction. And sorry @Jettix2 for slightly hijacking your post!

Never thought of that. Good point!

Okay, y’all convinced me! I contacted my dealer to have them build me a 2023 suburban and they had one incoming that was an exact match that wasn’t claimed yet. And it’s already in transit and should be here within 2 weeks. I think I just got ridiculously lucky! Thanks for the push

Wow, you did get absolutely lucky! You have the good luck to my bad luck. Im sure somehow my ride wont get built week of 9/12 and it will also have delays on shipping it as well.

Let’s hope the ‘23s roll of the line with a lot less difficulty!
